Hello,
I'm trying to make a spell which would surround the target unit in a crystal (like that frostnova spell from wc3), problem is just that i can't really figure out how to make that effect, can i somehow add an actor to the target unit when i cast the spell? And if yes, how exactly?
Yeah, look at the actor for Tosh's mindblast which make the swirly things appear over stunned units heads for an example of this. Basically you go to Actor > Events and add two statements.
@roguelike: Go
Hmm, i tried creating an action actor and filled in the inpact model value, and added the events you mentioned, but it doesn't really show up. Also i can't see Tosh's mindblast since it's in the singleplayer campaign, any other units/effects/behaviours i could study? Or maybe you could tell me where i could find the singleplayer maps?
Thanks for the help so far, it's nice when you at least get someone to point you in the right direction.

To see campaign units you have to change the dependencies when creating a map to Campaign(Liberty). Or you add it: >File > Dependencies > Add Standard.
I think the queen (the infusion) or the phoenix (that gravity thing) should have abilities you search for. Both are creating an effect on the target.
Ahh, great, all i did was creating a model actor with the model crystal large, and adding this in event:
Effect.[Some Effect].Start
- At Target
- Create
Works perfect now!
